Great read from Anthony: UConn men’s basketball standout Andre Jackson is finding his identity on and off the court

Great article, seems like a great guy all around just like he shows on screen. I hope his coaches\family\mentor - someone - talks to him though about this quote:

"Last game, I tried to shoot more and we didn’t win. So what’s the point?”

Man, that hurt me to read for him. I'd love to see him encouraged in some early cupcakes next season to get super aggressive and build confidence in his scoring ability. Maybe he'll never be a knockdown shooter but I believe he can learn to drive a lane and get some layups and dunks every game. If he can do that the sky is the limit. Like all of our guys I want nothing but the best for him, can't wait to see what he does tomorrow!

The ill-timed T vs Xavier may have been a turning point in his career

hmm...explain

While I was reading that I saw another good one just published, mainly about RJ but touches on the rest too:

Can R.J. Cole etch name into UConn men’s basketball point guard lore? (Borges)​

I mean it's fluff but I still like to read it

Ask me how much I love that Andre’s uncle owns a chain called “ orange theory fitness” but snubbed Syracuse to play for the huskies.

I feel like you can see the football and Jujitsu influences on his basketball game.

Great article by Mike A. Really learned a lot about Andre and how he approaches things. He is so easy to root for as a fan. His intensity and curiosity is going to carry him well beyond his basketball career.

If he had even Tmarts offensive game he`d probably be in the running for the #1 pick in the draft.
